Re: Dibella wont let Taylor fight Miranda
What utterly confounds me about Taylor is the fact that he made an outlandish statement about retiring as soon as he gets the opportunity.
I don't have a problem with that. Seems logical, he feels he has made a lot of money in the sport and doesn't seem like the interest is there
anymore.
That being said; why would you continue to fight without your heart in it. There are thousands of boxers around the globe that would kill for
his inherent athletic abilities. I think it's a disservice to the sport, and moreover, a disservice to the God given talent Jermain was blessed with.
As our beloved 33rd President of the U.S. was noted for saying..."If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"

Yep. Good point...that totally ruined it for me.
Not very becoming of the supposed Undisputed 160lb King.

Truthfully...Taylor's got a atheletic build...but it doesn't sync up with his boxing abilities. He's muscular & all that...but he's plagued with stamina issues & some seriuosly disfunctional ring generalship.
He has no clue how to work the entire fight...often gasses out from fighting a stupid game plan.
IWO, you can pump as much story & cash into a fighter...but if his head aint in the game...he's a bust waiting to happen.

True. To be a gifted athlete doesn't necessarily translate into being a great boxer. This can be evidenced by Michael Jordan's short stint in baseball. I also agree about the ring generalship. And there are a lot of question marks surrounding his beard. I think I confused superior athletic ability with having a cross-over factor into other sports. As you correctly
stated, that certainly isn't the case.

This is going to sound goofy as shit...but for some reason...I haven't put much thought into his chin.
I have no clue why. I suppose I just thought he had a good chin due to taking all those shots on the button from Wright & Hopkins power shots...but come to think about...his chin might have a few shards of glass in it.
Hopkins hurt him several times & so did Wright...but he stayed on his feet & I suppose that's what counts.
Gotdam it's getting late...I gotta open up the sto' in 5 hours.
I need to head to bed.
It's been a pleasure Shadow...you need to get your ass back on the board more often.
Cheers babe. Have a lover-lee evening.

PBF
JT
Hatton
Valuev
Wlodarczyk
Pavlik
Dawson (My boy!! but I gotta keep it real)
Joe C.
Duddy
Margarito
to name a few......
That just goes back to the promoter side of things...All these guys are money making machines....With the exception of PBF and JT (to an extent) they are questionable...they may fold under the first big fight they get into..Should I revise that and say real TEST they get into
